Great news for all the Jay-Z fans of the world as the rapper has revealed he will be re-releasing his New York Times Bestseller ‘Decoded’ with new features. The dad-to-be says this re-release will in stores November 1 as a paperback edition with an all black cover.
In addition to the book now being in paperback he also said there will be another chapter added so if you have the first book you might wanna get you the second one as well. That Jay-Z know how to make him some more money!!! There will be 7 additional illustrations added as well as three new songs. Check out an excerpt below:
What still excites me about rap is that it’s an open thread, a cipher that listeners find their own meanings in. The point of this book is not to settle arguments or transform rap songs into neat stories with a beginning, middle, and end. Rather, I’m trying to point readers to some ideas and information, get them to see deeper into the music than they saw before and learn more about worlds different from their own (or find new ways of looking at the worlds they already know)—to find their own meanings and connect them back to their own lives. I want readers to see the craft and learn the context—and I want them to still be able to feel the magic, and enjoy the show.
Are you going to be picking up the re-released paperback edition of ‘Decoded’ on Novemeber 1st?
